About

Abuse is a dark 2D side-scrolling platform game developed by Crack dot Com in 1995. It features beautiful lighting, realistic animation and nasty alien-like creatures to destroy.

This is the new home to Abuse and Abuse-SDL. I took over maintenance of that game to prevent it from vanishing from the Internet.

Since Abuse's public domain release in 1997, the following improvements were made:

• video output uses the SDL library, with optional OpenGL rendering
• 64-bit platforms support
• lots of crashes, memory leaks and general bugs fixed

• ​Jeremy "Marauder" Scott’s page, with Abuse for Win32, Satan Paint source code and more
• ​abuse2.com archived page, again with lots of downloads
